Question
Una is setting up a spotlight on a screen that is 12 m high and sits on a stage 1 m high.The spotlight is mounted on a stand so is 1 m off the ground, but it is stuck at an angle of 420How far back from the stage must she be in order to cover the whole screen?Round to the nearest 2 decimal places. (Put the numbers only in the box, do not enter any units.)
Solution
The question seems to be missing some information. The angle at which the spotlight is stuck is mentioned as 420, but the unit of this angle (degrees, radians, etc.) is not specified. Could you please provide this information?

Alice wants to take a picture of a historical building that is wide but not tall. From available references, she is able to find out that the building is 33 metres wide. She plans to take the picture standing directly in front of it, at a point perpendicular to the midpoint of the building. She is using a moderately wide-angle lens which provides an angle of coverage of 64◦. Alice sketches the situation as in Figure 7, where all lengths are measured in metres. The point A represents Alice’s position. Points B and C are at each end of the building. Point D is the midpoint of the building. The length of AB is equal to the length of AC. The angle BAD is 32◦. How far from the midpoint D should Alice stand in order to be able to take a picture of the whole building? (You can assume that the height of the building is not an issue)
